Corrugated Texture Video Tutorial
by Syndee Rogers-Nuckles

I have to admit that I am obsessed with patterns and textures! You can use a texture for so many things, whether it’s in the creation of a digital element or adding depth to a photo. In this lesson we are going to create a realistic corrugated paper texture, use it to make a pattern, and apply it to a flower shape!

Paper Letter Video Tutorial
by Christina Rambo

Photos can stand alone on a page, but it sure is eye catching to see them accompanied by a large title! Use the Gradient tool to create a folded paper texture. Then, cut and fold a big letter to create a bold statement on your scrapbook page.

Three Deep Sunshine Video Tutorial
by Jen White

Bring a warm loving glow to your digital project by creating a three-layer-deep sunshine. Photoshop users will pull out the Pen tool coupled with a little-known transformation shortcut. Elements users will experience the fun of the versatile Polygon tool and my exclusive Happy Sunshine action set.  I’ve included a Punch Out layer style and all the extras to get you started.

Challenges vs. Premier Top Pick

Did you know that pages you have made specifically for challenges can also be considered for the Premier Top Pick? You can post them in both galleries when you upload your pages. If your page isn’t a challenge winner, you’ll have a second shot at it with the Premier Top Pick.

August 2015 Premier Top Pick

There was no shortage of artsy pages in the August 2015 Premier Gallery as you all threw caution to the wind and embraced your inner artist. This month’s Top Pick goes to landorasue for her amazing monochromatic page called Sisters 35. She created an identical one called Sisters 36, which is equally fabulous. I love the way she has used the black front door in the background as a journaling mat. It creates the perfect contrast to the girls’ brightly colored dresses and school backpacks! They are a great pair of layouts that would look fantastic as part of a back-to-school album! Congratulations, landorasue!
